In this Weeks Show Justin, Shawn and Andy start the show talking about Shawn getting ready to install his Synology NAS System. Shawn is testing drives he purchased with HD Tune Pro which can tell how long a drive has been in use and other useful info. Justin tells us why Synology is much more then just extending storage on the system but can also be used to run a multitude of services such as Docker which can then run PiHole, DNS Blackhole, Minecraft Server, Virtual Machines and more including his Plex Server which can always run under the Synology. The guys talk about Plex and how the service has grown over the years. Shawn and Justin both did the lifetime sub for Plex, and the guys recommend this as a way to go. Cord Cutters can use HD Homerun for recording Over the Air Television and use it like a DVR and can be served over the Plex Server. The newest product from Silicon Dust is the HD Homerun 4K. Justin explains why OTA delivers a better picture then Cable. Shawn tells us about the Latest Time lapse, and it included some snow! We learn a bit on how he creates these great looking Time Lapse creations and some software to help called LRTimeLapse which Shawn feels is one of the best.

Justin reminds us about data collection and how we are the product and why your browser will feed you ads based on information you searched for. With this info, Justin shares info on Network Chuck and how he explains how you could create your own Search Engine using SearxNG. Justin recommends NotGoogle.live created by Network Chuck. Andy talks about migrating a Windows 10 system with corruption in Windows which was preventing Windows Update from completing. Users purchased a new system with Windows 11. Rather than reinstall all the programs and must relink the Database to network drives, reconnect printers, Andy purchased Laplink PCMover Professional and while the time to do was about 5 hours it worked flawlessly!

The crew talks about some of the many different versions of Windows over the years and what they liked while Andy has been banned from talking about Windows 8. Shawn lets us know that Windows 8.1 support is ending January 10th, 2023. Shawn and Justin talks about making the move for listeners to Upgrade while Shawn also decides to try doing an install of Windows 8.1 to see if it was really as bad as a lot said.
